Running linux on a machine thats not specifically supported by a vendor will always require tinkering. if you want the OOB experience you're describing pls purchase a laptop made by any of the linux specific vendors. if you like popos that would be system76. there others, check the reviews of these devices and see which one you like.

I'm not certain, but given that I've not seen a lot of UI lag in recent android releases I believe they must have fixed it.

in iOS the UI thread is split from the rest of the compute, and runs at elevated priority if i recall correctly. this used to not be the same case for android. having said that, my android devices run just fine as long as they have plenty of ram. so, if you buy a flagship samsung it usually comes with 12gb ram. the current minimum I'd say is 8gb. used to have the pixel 4xl with 6gb which kept lagging... how the situation develops in 2 to 3 years and if 12gb is still enough remains to be seen. in general apple is better with long-term device support (up to 5 years). all this is of course very subjective and depends on ur usage and if u game a lot on ur device.

Nice collection, which one do you use?

I'm sorry if my subjective comment offended you. I do like the fediverse, and I did highlight that I'm happy to help improve lemmy instead of jumping to a different platform. Of course you're always free to take a single line of my reply and build your argument out of it. Being able to admin an instance to ensure that people dont call each other names and ensuring a space where everyone wants to participate is a great goal to stand behind and not in the least a ya-sayers echo chamber. But of course any ability to admin may also be over used to create just that.

Beehaw is my favorite lemmy instance, its actually the only one with meaningful discussions and lively community. I'm grateful for your time and commitment towards a place where people are nice and have meaningful discussions. You the admins do all the work, you have to make the call. I will come with you but I'm not certain how it will go. If there are easy to use mobile apps and notifications I'll be more likely to get notified about new content. I just haven't seen any old school boards that tick all those boxes. So, if I have a vote (which I believe I dont) I vote to stay and rather help you improve the admin tools.

1. you're likely describing hibernate not suspend suspend has different states and the most common one is suspend to ram which needs a low concurrent supply of power and that's on all laptops the default - certainly on all thinkpads I own
2. check the systemd configuration file for your close lid actions such as suspend
3. hibernate means the machine is completely off and only works if you installed the OS in a specific way (please search how to install fedora to do this)
4. fedora is not superbly newbie friendly, maybe try ubuntu, linux mint or popos which usually work out of the box

How does one install that, and where? Is this in a VM or on actual hardware?

100% agree. Participation in the election process is a must if you're in a country that allows one to do so. I've not heard about this book, will have a look.

If you really dont like a company and its products you must vote with your wallet or usage in this case. Its that simple. The reason why people that dislike M$ still use vscode and/or windows is simply they actually dont care that much and mostly make noise. I vote with my wallet and have a full jetbrains subscription, I use most their IDE's everyday and its been great. Anyone really depending on income through coding must acquire the best tools available if they are reasonably priced so be it.

So, the both have almost identical hardware? Same photo sensor? Great, anyone running graphene can get the cheaper one knowing they are not missing out on anything.

Thank you for providing this interesting insight. I didn't know any of this. I hope JPL will be able to build up the necessary in house experience again to not having to depend on contractors. Maybe in the distant future mankind will be able to actually work together on this problem space instead of being busy with corporate infighting.
